Geographic range extension of Elachistocleis corumbaensis Piva, Caramaschi & Albuquerque, 2017 (Anura, Microhylidae) with new records in ecotonal zones in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil

Elachistocleis corumbaensis was documented in 2017 in the central region of the Brazilian Pantanal and no other record of the species has since been reported. In this study, we report on the extension of the geographic range of E. corumbaensis based on 4 new records found in the riparian forests of the Paraguay River, in the state of Mato Grosso. Of these, 1 specimen was collected in a protected area in the Pantanal. We also report on the presence of this species in the ecotones between the Pantanal, Cerrado, and Amazonia, which suggests that E. corumbaensis is associated with seasonally flooded forests but more widely distributed in western Brazil than previously reported

Estrutura da comunidade de artrópodes de solo em diferentes fitofisionomias da Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural – Sesc Pantanal, Brasil

As teias alimentares presentes na serrapilheira são de extrema importância para que haja a ciclagem dos nutrientes presentes no solo. A fauna de artrópodes de solo vem sendo estudada no Pantanal matogrossense para que ocorra identificação dos grupos, bem como sua riqueza e distribuição. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a comunidade de artrópodes em duas fitofisionomias do Pantanal, além de verificar a relação da abundância e/ou riqueza da fauna com a altura da serrapilheira. O estudo foi realizado em Abril de 2012, na RPPN Sesc Pantanal, no município de Poconé, Mato Grosso, Brasil. Foram instaladas dez armadilhas de queda (pitfalls) dentro de duas parcelas de 50x50 m, com fitofisionomias distintas, Cerrado sensu stricto e Floresta semidecidual. A serrapilheira foi mensurada por meio de fita métrica (raio de 30cm). O material foi encaminhado ao laboratório de zoologia, triados e identificados. Para realização da análise de variância e correlação dos artrópodes com serrapilheira foi utilizado o programa Systat 10. Houve diferença significativa na riqueza entre as duas fitofisionomias, por sua vez para a abundância não foi significativa. Não houve correlação entre a altura de serrapilheira e a riqueza/abundância de artrópodes. As ordens mais abundantes corroboram com outros trabalhados, porém seriam necessárias amostragens mais longas para uma lista mais completa das ordens identificadas

Morphometric and bioacoustic data on three species of Pseudopaludicola Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926 (Anura: Leptodactylidae: Leiuperinae) described from chapada dos guimarães, mato Grosso, Brazil, with the revalidation of pseudopaludicola ameghini (Cope, 1887)

Due to minute size, overall morphological similarities, scarcity of diagnostic characters after preservation, and usual sympatric or even syntopic occurrence of two or more species of Pseudopaludicola, the taxonomy of the genus is not yet a matter of consensus. Three species in the genus Pseudopaludicola Miranda-Ribeiro, 1926 were described by Cope in 1887, based on material obtained at Chapada dos Guimarães, mid-western state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. One of these species, Pseudopaludicola ameghini, was subsequently synonymized to P. mystacalis. In this paper we present morphological and bioacoustic evidences supporting a full specific status for the three sympatric species of Pseudopaludicola described from Chapada dos Guimarães, including Pseudopaludicola ameghini Cope, 1887.

New records amplify the geographical distribution of Rondonops biscutatus Colli et al., 2015 (Squamata, Sauria, Gymnophthalmidae) into the Paraguay river basin, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Rondonops biscutatus is a gymnophthalmid litter-lizard which occurs in the Amazon rainforests and the transitional areas between Amazonia and Cerrado. This species’ distribution is strongly biased by a lack of data, possibly because it was recently described, small-bodied, and living in cryptic habits. Here, we present occurrence data of six specimens from four locations in transitional areas between forests in Amazonia and Cerrado (central Brazil), in the upper Paraguay River, at the northern end of the Pantanal, midwestern Brazil. We expand the distribution of this species 507 km east from its original range.
